[@tunmi13prod]

When I was a freshman and partway through sophmore year before distanced learning was applied, this is exactly what happened. It was either at the beginning, or when the director wasn't there. The trombones would literally blow the absolute hell out of their instruments, the flutes were just going mad, and the percussionists are just banging the absolute hell out of the cymbals and the snares and the triangles. Let' snot even talk about the trumpets! I was a clarinet player and we barely did that lol.

[@SchoolBandOrchestra]

Ouch... I'm sorry. My band is actually pretty great to work with, but we think crazy worst case scenario when making fun videos.

[@morganlohr6137]

When our band teacher walks out most of us do what we are supposed to but there are always those few kids that have a who can play louder contest.

[@What_if_i_dont]

Since it's social distancing right now, my band records our concerts and hosts a zoom. We played Harry Potter, Peppa Pig, The Office, and so many more when he left for 10 minutes to get his camera from his office.

[@gwendolynhartley9909]

Great Locomotive Chase. that brings back good memories, from trying to learn it in two weeks for my last year in county band, to getting ready to perform it as the only oboist in my last middle school concert ever. This video made me really happy, thank you! :D (ps the sumpet and traxaphone actually work, two guys swapped instruments but not mouthpieces when we had a sub last year haha)

[@hellofellowearthling2337]

Once in middle school band, the band directors weren't in the room so we all started playing one of our songs and the band directors came in critizing it and telling us what we needed to fix. It was pretty fun tho and Im surprised they didnt get that mad.
